Mankato Christian Academy prayerfully seeks a gifted, confessional Christian educator who is deeply passionate about science, revealing God’s majesty, wisdom, and creativity through the wonders of His creation while discipling high-school students in a biblical worldview.

You are someone who:

• Loves teenagers and believes the Christian home, the local church, and the Christian school partner to shape the next generation of faithful servant-leaders.
• Is spiritually mature and able to mentor students and families from a variety of backgrounds with warmth, grace, and clarity.
• Has a contagious enthusiasm for science—delighting in its exploration of God’s intricate design, from the vast cosmos to the microscopic world—and can teach it with clarity, rigor, and joy to 9th–12th graders.
• Excels at helping students develop strong scientific inquiry skills, critical thinking, and perseverance while connecting scientific concepts to a Christian worldview (e.g., order, complexity, beauty, and stewardship).
• Enjoys fostering a classroom culture where students grow not only in scientific proficiency but also in character, diligence, and wonder at God’s design.
• Believes science equips students to glorify God through wise dominion and stewardship, and inspires them to pursue excellence in fields like medicine, engineering, environmental care, and research as acts of service.
• Models humility and awe before the infinite Creator, teaching origins in faithful alignment with the Genesis account of six days of creation (drawing on resources such as Answers in Genesis) while equipping students to engage thoughtfully with contemporary scientific ideas.
• If you are passionate about science and desire to disciple teenagers as they grow in faith, critical thinking, and analytical skills, we want to talk with you.
